From the start of 2010, Thames Valley Police extended its neighbourhood consultation by introducing a wider range of publicised opportunities to meet neighbourhood teams.
We will provide open monthly meetings to allow the public to influence our priorities. These meetings will be branded as Have Your Say opportunities, and in many cases will be held in conjunction with partners.

Across the Thames Valley area, there are many successful Neighbourhood Action Groups which will continue to deliver local problem solving, but the introduction of Have Your Say meetings will allow neighbourhood teams to identify more quickly those specific local priorities that need attention.
Thames Valley Police views the introduction of Have Your Say meetings as a positive step in tackling issues that matter most to the public. I welcome your support and engagement in this endeavour.

Concerns have been raised regarding ASB and drug related crime occurring in and around this area. As such, the team will be working hard to reduce this and work with partners to put measures in place to solve this in the long term. Joint visits are now being completed on a regular basis with representatives from Homeless Oxfordshire to vulnerable properties that have been highlighted as areas of ASB. We are also ensuring there is an increase in Police patrols and targeted activity in public areas. We will continue to work to solve and reduce this, as we seek to support and reassure the local community.

The NHPT have listened to community concerns regarding ASB occurring at the location including drug use, littering and persons loitering and acting in an anti-social manner. It has been raised that this is causing a detrimental impact to the area and causing concerns to local residents and the community when in the area. To address this, the team are working hard, in partnership with the council and others to address this urgently but to also work on long term solutions to prevent its continuance. The team are distributing letters and completing surveys to enable a full understanding of the specific issues. Operations are also being completed to target the issues directly as well as targeted patrols at key times that are highlighted as issues.
